It's time to wash the dust and dirt of the week off the convertible that will take you to the weekend. But while that car's going through the wash, take a couple of minutes to get smarter by Monday with the great reads, data and leads I found and shared on Twitter this week:

Meme me:Memes are older than you think. Find out the origin of the word, historic memes, and the formulas for the most popular types of memes. It's Friday, see.

Measure me: This roundup of what people are really doing on the Internet is a little trove of data and perspective. One sample: "500 million photos are shared and uploaded per day. More photos are uploaded and shared on Snapchat than Instagram. Snapchat's upload volume is about 1/3 of Facebook's."

Feeling all shiny and new having you visit here on Fridays. Have a great weekend!If you found this post useful, please subscribe or make a one-time donation to help support the thousands of hours that go into researching and curating this content for you:
